History
Spring Hill
Brush Creek, a tributary of the Tiffin River, rises near Tedrow.[4] The creek is fed by a spring. The spring's clean water made the spot a favorite Indian camp-ground and resting place in their migratory hunting excursions.[5] Thus, Tedrow was first known as Spring Hill, as is show on a 1858 platt map.
Tedrow Post Office
A post office was established in 1839, and remained in operation until 1917.[6] The community was named for the local Tedrow family.[7]
